Ingredients

• 1 pound Lean ground beef
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 Large onion, sliced
• 2 cups Low sodium beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine lean ground beef, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the ground beef.

Step 2

Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4-inch thick.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the hamburger steaks to the skillet and cook until they are browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked steaks to a plate and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion. Cook and stir the onions over medium heat until they are soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Add low sodium beef broth to the skillet with the onions. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir this slurry into the onion and broth mixture in the skillet.

Step 7

Continue to cook the gravy, stirring constantly, until it thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet. Spoon the onion gravy over the steaks, covering them well.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the steaks simmer in the gravy for an additional 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
